Our spirits are still empowered one week removed from #JustNarratives our first-ever geared towards narrative change. Together, over 450 attendees developed narrative strategies, skillsets, and tactics to ignite our path towards a multiracial democracy.

This is what solidarity looks like.

Culture unites us. And artists and creatives have always been central to culture making.

Few understand this better than the award-winning artist and comedian @alokvmenon.bsky.social.

"We've always used art and culture as a way to imagine something different."

Patrisse Cullors reminds us, collective, joyful expression is pivotal to combatting fear-based narratives that divide us all. Hear more insights from Patrisse on our full #CWA25 kickstarter video.

As division and fear are being weaponized, culture reminds us that an inclusive multiracial democracy is not abstract—it's lived.

#CWA25 will bring together artists, storytellers, and cultural strategists to share bold visions, creative resistance, and the power of narrative to move us forward.

At its heart, solidarity is love in motion.

On the Solidarity is This podcast, Race Forward Deputy SVP of Programs Nikko Viquiera and @buildingmovement.bsky.social's Adaku Utah explore the vital work of building multiracial solidarity in a moment of growing backlash against racial justice.
